Rio/Merag Redesign

Click for better quality!

More notes about the Redesign under the cut!

-Okay, first of all- BURN SCRAS. Queen was so long in the hospital after her fire accident, completely wrapped in bandages and there is literally nothing showing?? No, girl is a survivor and it shows. If the writers decide to put her in the hospital for like 75% of her screen time, then at least show the consequences that came out of it. She also can’t completely open her left eye anymore. It’s not blind, she just can’t completely open it.

-She also has PTSD from the incident and is afraid of fire ever since. She can stand it with loved ones around, but she‘ll never go alone near a fire again, because it gives her major flashbacks. (Rio isn‘t the only barian with PTSD. Honestly I think all of them have it, some more so than others for different reasons.)

-She is also officially a jock girl. We saw her rock every sport possible at school. I think in my redesign, she wouldn’t be in the drama club, but in a sports club, like football or basketball (probably even being captain). And for those wondering what her shirt says, it says „Heartland Academy“. The 48 actually being related to her star Merak.

-Although she is a confident queen, she still has some demons to deal with and isn’t really comfortable with showing ALL her scars (hence the sport leggings under her shorts). It actually took her a lot of time to go out again after being released from the hospital. But with the help of her family, especially Ryouga and Durbe and her friends, she‘s slowly healing.

-I also headcanon her as a lesbian. I confess to being a Rio x Anna shipper. Especially after seeing prompts and fanart of them bonding over burn and explosion scars. Love me some mechanic and jock lesbians.

-I think the Greek nationality explains itself, since she‘s Ryouga‘s twin. So if you want my reasoning for that, check out my Ryouga/Nasch redesign.

-Of course she has the sibling ring and the friendship bracelet with Ryouga and Durbe.

-Now to Merag. I tried to make her look like her barian form and also using lighter colours for her, since I used darker ones for Nasch. Also gave her the tiara she has in her barian form, because she is ROYALTY.

-I also gave Merag actually short hair and a long veil, to kinda give the illusion of long hair, because back then it was unusual for women to wear short hair. But she wanted it short, because she also practises sword fighting. Durbe was teaching her in private. She‘s actually better than Nasch at it and always kicks his ass in (sword) duels. This could also be a reason, why Rio is so frustrated at losing to Ryouga in card game duels. Because her soul was so used to winning against him.

-SHE‘S AN ORACLE. She was bestowed the gift of foresight by Apollo. She gets visions of the future. It’s mostly why she became head priestess. She also got them way less, when being reborn, because she and her soul had to get used to regularly getting future visions again. They could be big visions, like enemy‘s approaching or just small things. Like in the middle of doing something she suddenly spaces out before saying: „Oh my Abyss, Vector is going to fall down on the parking lot in 10 minutes, I gotta see that-“

The end.

@zexalmonth is it still too late for my 7th day entry???

[sunny-bunnys-blog]

I'm deciding to post this here before disappearing for another month or so XD

It's a edit of Nene Kusanagi as Rio! It's for an au I have on a discord server so it's missing some stuff, but I don't think the og edit would make sense out of context :3

If you want to see the actual edit then please say!

I'm curious, who's your favorite Barain Emperor and why?

Hello! Thank you for the ask ♡

So I’m not really into the Barian Emps as other people in the fandom are (though I did used to be). I haven’t watched ZEXAL specifically for Barian content in a loooong time, but! In my teens, the answer was Rio/Marin/Merag! I liked her aesthetic, her special clairvoyance powers, and thought her Barian design was just gorgeous. I still do, honestly!

Icebutterflyshipping

Here are two new ZEXAL shippings, Bazookaflyshipping and Icebutterflyshipping, the former Is Anna Kaboom and Dextra and the latter Dextra and Rio.

My favourite is Bazookaflyshipping cause in Episode 125 Dextra and Anna's souls were absorbed into Barian World and i felt after they were revived and perhaps Anna saw Dextra during Yuma and Astral's Duel made her feel that she was bst for Dextra

Some fun findings in my Barian Emperor deep dive

Zexal cannot for the life of them decide if they want Dumon to be Greek, English, French, or Norse. The folklore taxonimist part of my brain finds this inordinately funny.

They want SO bad for Nasch's empire to be some Mycenaean/Classical Era kingdom, but totally bungles it by having Dumon be there. This is also inordinately funny to me.

Squinting our eyes a little and giving the series a lot of creative license, Alito seems to be the oldest of the Barian emperors, then a huge gap of a couple centuries, and then the death order would logically go Mizar, then Marin, Vector, Nasch, Dumon, and finally, Girag.

Mizar, in his past life, carried around, and presumably knew how to use, a sword. I had completely forgotten about this.

Merag/Marin as Slave Leia

Jabba is a Hutt of many decadent and lavish tastes. If Marin, The Female Barian from the Barian World catches his eye, he will claim her and have Her scantily-clad by his side within the day.
